Helen Christina Kyrillidis was born in New York to Greek parents who emigrated from the village of Mavrochori, located in the Kastoria region of Macedonia, Greece. She grew up surrounded by the language, traditions, food, and music of Greece, and those early experiences shaped her deep and lasting love for Greek culture.For 25 years, Helen taught Sunday School, where she shared the beauty of Greek faith and tradition with the children in her community.Helen is also a co-founder of Dollars and Sense Publishing and, together with her colleagues, has written several financial literacy and money management books for adults. Writing about her Greek heritage, however, is especially close to her heart. Creating The ABCs of Being Greek allowed her to celebrate her heritage and honor the journey her parents made when they came to America.She hopes this book helps Greek children everywhere stay connected to their roots while inviting young readers of all backgrounds to discover the joy and richness of Greek culture. Helen also plans to continue this work through a growing series of books that celebrate Greek culture, traditions, and heritage for future generations.
